Going to be disappointed if it’s not this cycle..

Ugh,

8DPO/CD31 today. I know it’s still early but my chart is giving me hope or something to hold on to. I’m very late this cycle which is also not the norm…just trying to hold on to something

Help

Stupid me stopped ovulation testing because I usually get my one day surge on CD12 and then ovulate CD13 or CD14 like clockwork the past couple months. Am I correct that it looks like I didn’t ovulate yet? So frustrating! I know I have time and could ovulate late but I hope it’s not an anovulatory cycle 😭

Implantation dip? Would I have my BFP today if so? Thanks!

Hi friends! This is my 3rd cycle ttc and I had a crazy dip in temps 8 dpo, followed by a teeny tiny rise 9 dpo. Could this be an implantation dip? And if so,!when would I have a positive test? Thanks everyone! 🩵

10dpo dip am I out? Help please

Got a massive dip in my temp this morning at 10DPO and on the night of 9DPO had some light cramping which was strange.

I use ovusense so it's a core body temp, external factors doesn't effect the readings.

Am I out? Tested and it's negative.

FF and Tempdrop

FF and Tempdrop are giving different dates for Ovulation.

FF is saying I am 5DPO whilst Tempdrop says 4DPO, I think I agree with FF, what do you think?

Going off other signs I would say FF looks accurate but I had a hycosy CD10 (🤞🤞🤞) so this month has been a bit different, lots of cramps.

Thank you

My prettiest chart

We didn’t manage to hit any of the right days this month as my husband was travelling but I wanted to record my pretty chart for posterity. I’ve never had such consistent post-O temps before!

The two slight dips are on days where I naturally woke up earlier than my usual time, and now I’m kind of annoyed because I bet they’d also have been right in line if I’d just managed to stay asleep an hour longer… 😂

Crazy Luteal Temp Drop?

Our first month TTC - we traveled to Peru and I think the travel delayed my ovulation and then I got that absolutely wild temp dip on CD23. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Maybe the medication I took? I also ran out of OPKs on our trip of course.

Is this triphasic? On 9dpo I think? Today. Have a 32+ day cycle. I’m so tired of this wait.

I forgot a few days of BBT which really doesn’t help my chart. 😖

Looks like a pregnancy charts, but lots of BFN

I have been testing very negative, but this seems like a pregnancy chart. Thoughts?

Do we agree on ovulation date?

My Tempdrop suggests that I actually ovulated cd17…I’m going in for a progesterone and beta hcg on 10dpo…I’m tempted to wait until 11dpo because I would rather the beta hcg be a little more definitive. Advise? Thoughts on timing? I’m feeling a little discouraged because I’m worried we BDd a little too late on my day of ovulation

Weird temps after CP, did I ovulate?

So confused, LH never truly surged on opks but I heard it can sometimes be lower or super short after a chemical pregnancy/miscarriage. I also think my cover line is higher than it should be since I’ve only tracked 2 other cycles so far and one was the brief pregnancy. What do we think? Implantation dip, secondary estrogen surges? Or haven’t ovulated yet? TIA!

Ovulation or another false alarm?

Been ovulating CD40-45 the last few cycles. This cycle is a total mess, do you think this is another fake out spike? My ovulation test today and yesterday was dark but not totally as dark as the control line.

When did I ovulate?

This is a strange chart to me. Disregarding my bbt, my body tells me that I ovulated on cd18. I had the usual cramps, bloating etc and then cm dried up the day after. Would you all agree? I guess we will see what happens tomorrow. Using an Apple Watch so fairly unreliable

Wtf is happening? Is this looking anovulatory?

First cycle after late chemical pregnancy and my temps have been so weird. I usually ovulate on CD17 or 18 but I don’t think that happened here. I get a quick surge and peak which happened but uhhh…? I really can’t tell what is going on and why my temp is rising. I was so freaking hopeful this cycle but now feeling so sad and lost. Appreciate any insight.

9DPO.... Except, did I really ovulate? Am I ovulating now?

I'm confused, new to tracking OPKs. I've done as much research as I possibly can but I'm still learning my body and cycle.

For reference, My CD1 was April 19th. I lightly use the flo app to track but not too seriously. I also did not regularly use strips, and I couldn't really get the temping right, so althrough the period of when the app suggested I would be ovulating, I did not track OPK's and just did what I could with my husband to try to conceive.

Now, we are at what would be "9DPO", assuming I actually did ovulate during that time period. I have consistent horrible nausea because I've been taking prenatals for a few months and I rarely get enough food in, so symptom tracking is not something I will even consider looking into. I just randomly started OPK tracking again, beginning yesterday. Yesterday's line was faint, damn near invisible, but today, it's the darkest I've ever seen it. Not technically a peak yet, though. I use that premom app to track it. I took one at 4:30 AM, I know the premom numbers are BS but for reference, it was 0.55. Now, I just tested it again at 10 and it was 0.7.

In ya'll opinion, is this just a late ovulation? I consider my cycle to be like 28-29 days if that helps. But I hadn't ever tracked it before and I don't wanna get myself hyped up after reading so many posts about "it could actually be detecting HCG." I just wanna know- do I gotta leave work to hit the bedroom?! Or is it normal to have different OPK levels post ovulation? I'm working a double the next few days, so ovulating right now wouldn't be my preference 🤣

What is going on!?

I don’t honestly know what to make of this. Am I sick? Does it look good? At first I thought it was triphasic and got excited but it just keeps climbing and I thought it would level off by now if the rise a good sign?

I usually have an 8-9 day LP, so AF should be coming today or tomorrow, usually accompanied by a drop. I’ve gotten confusing pregnancy test results; all my pink dye tests have been negative but I’ve also taken three blue dye tests and all three had faint lines, including a decent faint line on yesterday’s. I’ve just been assuming all three are dye runs because it’s not showing up on an FRER? I know it’s still so early to test, but wouldn’t it show up by now if it really is a pregnancy that’s been causing temps to increase for days?

Is FF mad at my high temp on CD11?

All signs (OPK, CM, and a low temp spike) point to ovulation on/around CD15. Is the earlier spike on CD11 to blame for no cross hairs or am I SOL this month?

The spike around CD11 IMO happened because I was traveling to hot and sunny Arizona and my body was out of whack.

A bit stressed that I won’t ovulate this month

Feeling a little frustrated. Have had nothing but positive OPKs all month. I stopped logging them. My temperature only seems to be going down and I have historically ovulated on CD 16 every cycle that I’ve ovulated. 😮‍💨 I guess I can go ahead and consider myself out for this month.

Temp dip

Does the slight dip in my most recent temperature mean that I did not actually ovulate?

Is it possible that I just missed my LH rise? My cycle is normally 28 days and LP is 11. Did I actually ovulate this early??

Am I out? Please advise 😮‍💨

I ovulated on cycle day 81. Currently 9DPO. Got a temp rise today after few days of it going low. But I tested negative yesterday at 8DPO and today morning at 9DPO. Am I out? 😔 is that temp rise just a normal fluctuation that doesn't mean much? To me it looks like temps aren't trending down but I dunno

With my daughter back in 2019 I tested positive at 8DPO.
